“One card read simply, “ God Bless Your Family,” in the painstaking and shaky handwriting of a very elderly person, and I marveled at the enormous and possibly painful effort a stranger across the country had made—to get the card and the stamp, to write the note, to mail it—just so I would not feel so alone. These were people with an emotional bandwidth, a depth and breadth of understanding, that had come from pain in their own lives.”

“The Beetle’s body, whether it be a ’49 split or a ’73 Jeans Bug, or an ‘03 Mexican, was originally conceived in the mid 1930’s. This is evident in it’s body styling which aside from it’s rear engine layout and absence of front radiator (or radiator!) grille, is very similar to other cars of the same period. Believe it or not, in those days streamlining was a hot new concept, kind of like how wireless networking is today with computing. The only problem was, in the beginning they didn’t seem to realize that streamlining ought to be applied sideways as well as longitudinally!”

“Düşünün. İdam mahkumlarını, daha sonra öldürebilmek için ölümü bekledikleri sırada canlı tutuyorlar. Mahkumları, zamanı geldiğinde yargılayabilmek için intihar etmesinler diye gözetim altında tutuyorlar. Hiç anlamlı değil. Birini ölüme mahkum etmek doğal ama insanların bunu kendilerinin yapması değil, öyle mi? Size ne düşündüğümü söyleyeyim: Kendinizi öldürmeye çalıştığınızda insanlar sinirleniyorlar; çünkü bu, onların sizin hayatınızı birazcık bile kontrol edebilmesini engelliyor. Hayatınızı “olması gerektiği gibi” değil de, kendi istediğiniz gibi sonlandırmanızdan hoşlanmıyorlar.”

“Young women are urged to 'never stop picturing their murder'. From childhood onward, we're instructed not to do things. Not go here. Not work there. Not go out at this hour or talk to those people, or wear this dress, or drink this drink, or partake of adventure, independent solitude. Refraining was the only form of safety offered from the slaughter.”
